They were staring at the sky for a while now, just examining the clouds and listening to the sound of the waves bursting on the shore.Selena and Lucas had gone inside to shower and put warm clothes since the weather was getting colder outside. Then, Lucas grabbed a bottle of wine and some food while Selena placed a towel on the sand so they could have a night picnic. Selena was still on cloud nine after the incredible day they had. It was exactly what she needed in life at that moment.Their lives were just beginning and they had a promising future ahead of them."Hey, why is it that every time I leave you alone you seem to get into a sort of interior analysis?" Lucas said as he got back with the wine and the food.Selena smiled and helped him by serving the wine into the glasses.They made a toast as Selena thought about what to answer him.Not that she had much to say, but it was starting to be a habit of hers to think about the future lately."I was just thinking about our future
The colony was under attack and everyone were caught up by surprise by an enemy pack, and even though they were always alert, this time they didn't have time to be prepared.It was one of those dark pitch nights, where you can barely see anything without the help of the moonlight. In the middle of the East Forest, there was a battle happening between two wolf packs. It was hard to tell which wolf belonged to which pack, except for the scent they exuded.There were roars everywhere and screams from the ones that didn't have time to transform yet. "Gerard, grab Selena and get out of here," someone shouted.It was an elderly woman, with gray hair and sweet, but wise eyes. It was easy to tell that she was very smart. She was trying to avoid the blow of a brown wolf, protecting herself with a metal stick. She hit his head with an immense strength, and the wolf collapsed instantly."Hurry up!" she screamed again to the young man from her pack. He rushed inside the house, dodgi
"Grandma, I'm leaving!" Selena shouted, already passing through the door, not waiting for her grandmother's response.She walked to college feeling the warm breeze from that morning. That lifted her spirit a little. Selena was always so curious about the different lifestyle of the humans and wanted to understand their world so badly, that she had enrolled in a college nearby. She always discovered something new in their world, and that captivated her very much.At the college stairs, she heard someone screaming her name. She turned and saw Maddie coming in her direction. Maddie was a very beautiful girl, red-haired with honey-colored eyes. She was one of the most beautiful women Selena had ever seen. Everyone used to say that Selena was incredibly beautiful too, just like her mother. She had her mother's long black hair, her tanned skin and grayish eyes. She saw in a few pictures and they were pretty similar indeed.Selena and Maddie weren't exactly what they called popular girls, b
When Selena and Maddie arrived at the Treehouse Bar, it was not hard to find where the group was. It was a very nice and casual bar that was attended by college students at the city. It was in the open-air and most of the people stood on their feet, drinking and chatting. Selena started to feel very nervous. She didn't know anyone that were with Robbie. While they were walking towards the group, William saw them and waved.Robbie had his back to Selena and Maddie, but when he saw William waving at them, he turned."Hey, you came!" he said, approaching the two girls."I told you we would come." Selena replied with a soft smile."Come, I'll introduce you both to everyone." Robbie passed his arms through Selena's and Maddie's shoulders.William gave Maddie a kiss on her cheek, leaving the girl completely blushed, but she was very good at pretending she wasn't shy.Robbie introduced everyone, but when he was about to introduce the last guy, Selena was already looking at him.At first, she
Selena stormed off towards Maddie. The girl looked surprised with Selena pushing Lucas away all of a sudden. "What happened?""Ah, now you were looking at me, huh?" Selena got back at her, regretting it the moment the words came out of her mouth. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be an idiot. I'm sorry." "Okay, relax, girl. Don't worry!" Maddie gave her a warm smile. Selena felt that she didn't deserve her friendship at all. She was just frustrated with the whole situation and didn't know how to react."I'm going home. You can stay here if you want, I don't want to spoil your night." But Maddie was already grabbing her purse. "I'm going with you." She said something on William's ear and then locked her arms with Selena's, pulling her to the bar's exit.They walked a short distance at total silence, when Maddie finally took the courage to ask again."Can you tell me now what happened?" Selena took a deep breath before looking at her friend. She was still feeling bad for snapping back at M
Selena was seated at the balcony stairs while appreciating the view of the forest and some young members from the pack playing with some wooden sticks.She couldn't stop thinking about Lucas and what he had said to her at the bar. She tried so hard to pretend she was unaware of his presence, but him, out of everyone, was the one that noticed. She was so consumed by those thoughts, that didn't notice someone getting closer. It was Gerard, a middle-aged man that she liked a lot. He was close to an older brother to her. "Hey, Sel. Bryce asked you to go see him." he said, with an empathetic smile on his face."He asked or he commanded?" she replied ironically. She got up on her feet and smiled at him. Gerard smiled back and passed his arms over her shoulders and accompanied her to her father's office."Try to stay calm, okay?" he begged. "I don't think it's good news for you." Selena looked at him, starting to get a little nervous. Gerard knew her, and for him to say that, she would
"How many are we talking about?" Selena asked, running after Darius and the twins."I'm not quite sure. I believe there are five of ours there, but I don't know how many of them." "Got it!" They ran for a few minutes inside the forest until they were able to see the packs battling. Selena could instantly recognize the five wolves from her pack, but they were outnumbered. For what she could count from that distance, there were at least eight wolves from the rival pack. She looked at Darius, but he was already on the way to the fight, already turned into his wolf shape. The twins did the same, and Selena followed them, suddenly feeling more powerful. She always felt great as a wolf. Her fur was dark black like her hair and her eyes yellow like the sun. She felt her senses getting more sharp. She could sense the scent of each wolf distinctly and see even better.She gained speed and went in the direction of two enemy wolves that were unjustly beating one of hers. She grabbed one of t
Selena opened her eyes with some difficulty, feeling her whole body ache. At first, she could only look at the ceiling, feeling some sort of familiarity with the place. It seemed to be her grandmother's living room. She also realized that the smell of medicines that made her wake up came from her grandmother, that was beside her. "Ah, you're finally awake!" her Grandma said, smiling at her. "I thought you wouldn't wake up anymore.""What is this smell?" Selena frowned. "I'm cleaning your wounds. It's not pretty." Grandma answered.Selena tried to sit on the bed, but her grandmother slapped her arm and commanded her to stay laid down.Not that she would be able to, since with just that little movement, she felt so much pain that almost fainted."Ah!" Selena moaned. "It's hurting like hell!""Don't say that!" Grandma protested. "I was hoping you could tell me what happened. No one could tell me how you got in this state."Selena's mind was spinning while she tried to remember anything
